Single Image Haze and Noise Removal

Images of outdoor scenes often contain atmospheric degradation, such as haze and fog, caused by particles in the atmospheric medium absorbing and scattering light as it travels to the observer. Although this effect may be desirable from an artistic standpoint, for a variety of reasons (such as computer vision
or sensing algorithms, or even pure curiosity) one may need to restore an image
corrupted by these effects, a process generally referred to as haze removal. Additionally, all images contain some corruption from noise, and if not considered in the haze removal process, noise can dominate the results. PROJECT PAGE COMING SOON.
